Child’s Dress
A dress which can be made in a morning, and which will be
comfortable and cool for the young wearer is shown in this illustration, No.
6304. A blouse and skirt compose the
dress. The blouse has a deep tuck at
each shoulder in both front and back, and this extends to the waistline,
stitched in all the way. Such an arrangement
gives a wide, flat panel in the front and back, and this is most becoming to
the child figure. The neck of the blouse
is cut square and outlined by a flat band trimming. This is continued down the side-front closing
of both waist and skirt. The sleeves are
of bishop design, except that they have no fulness at the shoulder. At the wrist, if made long, they are gathered
into a band cuff, but the shorter length is more popular, and if they are
shortened to the elbow they are finished with a pretty turn-back cuff.
A three-piece skirt completes the dress. This is arranged with an underturned plait at
the center of the back and at each of the side seams, so that there is a little
fulness for the comfort of the child, while the appearance of extreme
slenderness is still maintained. A small
bag hanging from the belt takes the place of a pocket, and adds a touch of
novelty.
These dresses are usually made of linen or of heavy
gingham. They are also pretty in ratine,
percale, cotton voile, and in many other wash-fabrics.
The dress-pattern, No. 6304, is cut in sizes for 2, 4, 6
and 8 years. To make the dress in the
medium size will require 2 yards of 36-inch material, with 3/4 of a yard of
27-inch contrasting goods to trim. Price
of pattern, 10 cents.
Girls’ Box-Plaited Dress
Box plaits are always stylish, and when they are made the
full length of the dress they are especially becoming to the long-bodied,
short-legged figure of childhood.
In this model, No. 6287, three plaits are used in front and
back, and they extend unbroken to the hem of the dress. The central plait in the back extends over
the curved band which trims the neck, and under it the closing is
concealed. The neck is round, and the
sleeves, may be either short or long.
As the garment is illustrated it is made of white linen,
with bands of embroidery between the plaits.
This mode of making is very pretty and may be used for other materials,
such as batiste, gingham, pique, and the like.
If ratine is used for the dress, heavy macrame lace will make a pretty
substitute for the embroidery.
